So although it is very slightly shorter the thicker rope means that the system is much easier to handle when under load.

Taken the rope into account the size of the PEAKUK throw bag is much bigger than the HF and Palm Equipment bags. The relative sizes of each of the bags can be seen in the images.

The bag comes supplied clean, i.e. the rope comes supplied with no loops, plastics tubing or knots that sit outside of the bag.

The rope runs into the bag and attached to a marine grade stainless steel ring similar to those found on the back of PFDs and as part of cowtail setups. The rope is threaded through the ring and is secured with a figure eight knot.

The use of the ring was first seen in PEAKUK’s Bull bag from a few years ago, so it’s great that it now features in the latest line-up.

The use of the steel ring is both low profile and super easy to clip into if/when required. The image below shows the excellent Petzl Vertigo carabiner.

The bag comes with a long sleeve that allows the bag to be fastened to a belt for wearing around the waist.

This is probably the best version of this system out there. It does take a little longer to thread through than say the HF Weasel or the Palm series of throw bags but it really helps the bag sit well against the body. I have tried the bag with the most popular rescue belts available and it works perfectly.
